RE: winnt octave -- file formats

[Barnes, David D]

Hi Tom,

that's what I thought about cygwin;
the file is created by a windows-based program onto a fat fs,
and I even tried playing with several unix/dos formats through TextPad
before octave processed it.

I might try another time, but not right now.

the "mount" command says this:

BASH.EXE-2.04$ mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
C:\PROGRA~1\GNU\OCTAVE  /                   user         binmode
BASH.EXE-2.04$

thanks for your help,
David

Hmm,

Sounds strange.  The ^M's are due a dos format file being displayed in a

unix file format.  I am not sure why this is - cygwin, the underlying 
technology which allows octave to run on Win32 should take care of this.

the cygwin mount command mounts its mount points in either binary, or 
ascii, and it should be set correctly.

When does this occure?  Do you write a .m file with notpad or wordpad,
and 
then read it in octave?

Open up a bash prompt (or type system('/bin/bash') at the octave prompt,

and type mount.  Send me the output from this.

Thanks,

Tom Weichmann
